Dying is a wild night and a new road.
I dwell in possibility.
My friends are my estate.
Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed.
There is no Frigate like a book to take us lands away nor any coursers like a page of prancing Poetry.
That it will never come again is what makes life sweet.
I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
Behavior is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes.
People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles.
A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day.
To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.
Where thou art, that is home.
A mother is one to whom you hurry when you are troubled.
It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.
Tell the truth, but tell it slant.
Celebrity is the chastisement of merit and the punishment of talent.
Finite to fail, but infinite to venture.
After great pain, a formal feeling comes. The Nerves sit ceremonious, like tombs.
Luck is not chance, it's toil; fortune's expensive smile is earned.
